GBI Out Of Context's Next Top Curator

I've been thinking for a while that it would be cool if other people took turns curating the Giant Bomb Infinite Out Of Context Twitter account. I've been running it for a relatively long time now and I've been doing it my way, but I'd like to see how other people would do things. I'll retain control as founder and overseer of the account, but for the most part the curator will be able to run it however they want. I haven't posted in a while, but I've still been collecting messages, so right now there are over 100 in the queue. I'll pass those images along to the next curator and it'll be fun to see which messages they choose first.

Twitter recently changed how images are displayed and none of the files in the queue are the right aspect ratio. Someone wrote a script for me to use Photoshop to automatically edit them, but I took too long getting Photoshop myself and I forgot who it was, sorry! As a result, potential candidates may want to have Photoshop available. Or you can use your own methods; do whatever you want, that's the point!

No Caption Provided

If you're interested, leave a comment below or message me however you want. I don't want it to be a popularity contest or to influence it with my own bias, so I'll choose the next curator randomly from the list of candidates. I would, however, like to restrict applications to known members of the GBI community, just to maintain the culture and some level of accountability. Sorry, lurkers! We still appreciate you. In the case that nobody's interested, I'll just keep running it myself. The people have spoken!

There's not really a hard deadline for this, I'll just pick someone after I'm reasonably sure everyone's had a chance to throw their name in.

Let me know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions. I'd like to work out the smaller details with the community, like how often we change curators, etc. so definitely let me know your opinions. You can also still come to me for anything you need after the new curator takes over, including submissions.
